Torque converter noise

Rmartin-97 · Nov 8, 2015

Is it normal for your torque converter to make a noise in neutral but once in gear you hear nothing? It's a dpc triple disk.

what kinda noise? I would say no but it might not be the converter it might be because its in neutral and everything is free spinning

It's like a really low rattle

Are the bolts that attach the torque converter to the flexplate torqued to spec?

Mine did the exact same thing until i tightened/torqued all the bolts and the noise went away.

Does anyone ever honestly torque the converter nuts? I always go all the way with my 3/8 air ratchet and then just check them by hand to be sure I got them all. Just curious.

You get a 3/8's air ratchet in there?

Yeah through the drivers side where the rubber plug is. Sometimes a long extension and 3/8 impact.

Change out the converter before it takes out your transmission.

Once it start making noise, it's already too late and you need to go through the whole thing.

I've got a brand new dpc 13" that does the same thing. Mine is spragless though

You will hear a noise coming and going wen i shift from neutral to gear. Is this the converter making this noise?
